high fuel prices, has adversely impacted our operating results. In an effort to become profitable, other
major airlines have shifted some of their domestic capacity to their international routes, where they
are better able to include fuel surcharges in their fares. As our route structure is primarily domestic
U.S., we have been unable to recover all of the increased cost of fuel in our ticket prices. We
anticipate the extremely competitive nature of the industry to continue.
Airlines also frequently participate in marketing alliances, which generally provide for
code-sharing, frequent flyer program reciprocity, coordinated flight schedules that provide for
convenient connections and other joint marketing activities. These alliances also permit an airline to
market flights operated by other alliance airlines as its own. The benefits of broad networks offered to
customers could attract more customers to these networks. We do not currently participate in any
marketing alliances, interline or offer joint fares with other airlines, nor do we have any commuter
feeder relationships.
